-- BOXES AND ARROWS -- http://www.boxesandarrows.com/

Two good recent articles in the December issue:

1) Building a Vision of Design Success:
A common view of vision is that it's something handed
down by a leader to the troops. When a redesign goes
awry, the troops complain, "There was no vision." But
the problem goes deeper than either scenario; the
problem is that there was no shared vision.

2) Paradigm Dissonance: A Significant Factor in Design
and Business Problems:
How often do we want to simply make our point, instead
of bringing our opinions together to reach consensus?
Look at all the PowerPoint presentations and slick
brochures: we want to tell our view, instead of
listening to others. We want our opinion to be heard.
